Anyone know the details on the one from Colorado? I'm in Michigan. Any clue to how many Riviera Blue Spyders are in the USA?
So far I only know of one other, m3irish's in Texas has one on order, but that doesn't mean there isn't more. I only have colors for 10 of the 22.

Just wanted to get other people's impressions. Thanks!
it's my second roofless car, so I'm impressed at how quiet it is.. I guess it's all relative. my bmw m3 was terrible in comparison with huge backdraft.

No motors, no insulation in the roof...all scaled back for weight. I had a 911S cab and a Boxster GTS prior and cabin was very quiet....the spyder is loud but for me, that's a part of its DNA that adds to its charm. And the roof lines when closed are so much better than the other Boxster models IMHO.

I concur. The 987 Spyder is pretty windy and louder in the cabin. Windows up/top down is fine at 80, but I wouldn't want to try carrying a deep conversation. I love the manual top and roughness to the car. Might be the engineer in me.

Gorgeous. Donovan has a light grey one on the way. Guessing that's the Pantone blue?
